But, keep in mind that EXCEL DVD is in PAL (see Newdeep post above). In the past PAL, NTSC used to be a factor but with High Def TV, PC DVD and high end displays, PAL is not a hinderance to playability in NTSC countries anymore.

If master Video is in PAL, they should make the DVD in PAL too (like EXCEL DOR).

I agree with you. I cannot understand why Hindi movies are still released in NTSC. PAL is the better system and India is a PAL country, and - as you wrote - in NTSC countries PAL is no longer a problem.
Above all I am living in a PAL country, too.

hmm i think pal dvds could be a problem in the US, i have a brand new high def sony television that displays ntsc only. I think that most sony televisions in the US are ntsc only- but not completely sure. I think all televisions or at least 99% should have PAL if the indian dvds are going to be in PAL only

if anyone can find the excel version of dor online or in north eastern us/toronto area, please let me know where. would be very happy to get my hands on this one!!!

I got the DVD from here: http://www.bollydvd.net/newprdtls.asp?p ... 9&langid=0

They list it as by "One Ent." Is it identical to the Excel-DVD?

Yes, it is. I received my copy some days back and it's definitely the original Excel Home Videos version and not the Eros version. I sent them an e-mail about the "One Ent.", which is incorrect, so I guess they'll change it soon.

Anwar, congrats

Got it now, too - from MusicYogi.

Very good picture quality, no pixelisation or blurring. But am I alone with the feeling that the picture has a blue tint?
